Abstract

A remote conveyor belt monitoring system (20) for monitoring an operation of a conveyor belt (34) at a first geographic location A local HMI (66) is operable to acquire and store data representing conveyor belt (34) conditions and operating characteristics First and second computers at different geographic locations acquire the data via an internet (28) Thus, data relating to the operating conditions of the conveyor belt (34) can be remotely consolidated and monitored by computers at different global locations.
